4.0 BAD WAYS TO SAVE TIME; TIME SAVERS - HOW TO REDUCE TIME CONSUMING CHORES

There are some terrible ways to save time, yet these are the methods most people choose. Here are some of them:

== Skipping breakfast

Skipping breakfast is almost a religion for some people, yet breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Some years ago a health insurance company did a study on ways to stay healthy and live a long life. Having a good breakfast was at the top of the list.

== Rushing

I always make mistakes when I rush. Often I have to go back and redo something because I made a mistake or because I couldn't give it the necessary attention at the time.

Rushing on the road is dangerous, yet I have seen drivers risk their lives to save a few seconds.

== Not sleeping

Many people think they can get by with less sleep but then feel like they are dragging or pushing themselves all day. A number of serious accidents have been caused by fatigue, including the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It is estimated that 100,000 car accidents a year in the US are caused by drowsy drivers.

== A combination

A person who gets little sleep, no breakfast, and then rushes through traffic is very dangerous to him or herself and to others. Besides, it is also not a very enjoyable way to live.
